After I managed to keep my succulent wheelbarrow alive for a couple of years I figured I was responsible enough to branch out and grow some more exciting things, like agaves. Much to my surprise I'd been growing one all along. It's amateur hour in agaveville, folks.

The drought is handing us our asses and half our yard is dead. Even native plants are struggling. It took a while to come to terms with this but now I have agave pups scattered around in pots, trays of seedlings in the windowsill and a vision in my mind of a sculptural xeric landscape more beautiful than anything we had before. The vision seems a long way off and I feel seriously behind the curve.
I'm here to be a sponge and learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience so generously. I love the galleries and the travelogs are amazing. Fortuitously, the screen name agave killer was taken. Maybe it's a sign there's hope for me yet.
WELCOME!...
